Happy Valentine’s Day! There’s no time like today to share one of my fave LeBootCamp recipes: Garlic Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles.

Low in fat and high in protein, shrimp brings omega-3’s, iron, zinc and iodine, making it not only a nutritional powerhouse, but also a natural aphrodisiac. The zucchini noodles, rich in antioxidants and low in carbs are simply the very best pasta-alternative in the world!

And whether or not you’re sold on aphrodisiac properties in food (test this recipe & let me know!), this dish promises to make your Valentine’s dinner a beauty either way…so let’s get cooking!
